Washington Post reporter Ruben Castaneda talks about the Jack Johnson plea deal -- and what's next for Councilwoman Leslie Johnson. Rep. Donna Edwards talks about the debate over whether to raise the debt limit, the war in Afghanistan, the high price of gas, and more. And we'll preview Bike to Work Day, which is Friday.

Rep. Donna Edwards (D-Md.) talks about the Republican push to repeal health care reform, the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and life in the minority. Ward 1 activist Bryan Weaver, who is being urged to run in the upcoming DC Council special election (supporters are raising money for him on their own), will announce whether he intends to seek the seat vacated by Chairman Kwame Brown.

The shooting of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was particularly unsettling in a city shared with the federal government. But “there is essentially no way to be a member of the House and let one incident like this make you stay away from your constituents,” says Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton.
